A gentleman well acauainted I witliToL itealt. and an ardent admirer ol his in etry, relates a story told by him while the two spent a night in conversation, criticism, and recollections, so dear to men of his kind, over a cosy lire and warm decoctions. He spoke of the night before the battle at which Gen. W. S. Lvtle fell. The two (Realf and Lvtle) lay together given to writing poetry at such timenyC each had an unfinished poem on lt and they road and nritiriopd "-tj,mnlh efforts humorously Sot sjjr. said Lytle: '"J." " 'Kealt, I sliall ueYja v. t' li poem.' - "'Nonsense,' said I, 'you wil write volumes of such stufi.' "'A feeling has suddenly come over me,' continued tho General Biiddenly, 'which is more startling than a prophecy, that I shall be killed in to-morrow's fight. As I spoke to you I saw the green hills of the Ohio as if I stood among them. They began to recede from me in a weird way, and as they disappeared, the conviction flashed upon me like the lightning's shock that I would never see them again.' "I rallied him from his superstition, but the belief had become strangely impressed upon his mind, and he succeeded in so far thrilling me with his own unnatural fear that I begged him to finish his poem before he slept, that sucli fine work might not be lost to the world. "In the small hourH the General awakened me from a flluruber into which I had fallen, to read me that beautiful poem, which must live as long as our literature survives, beginning: "I am dying, Egypt, dying; Ebbs tho crimson life blood fust. "My eyes filled with tears as he read. He said not a word as he concluded, but filaced the manuscript in his pocket and ay down to sleep. "Before dawn came the call to arms. When 1 next Baw poor Lytle he was cold in death among heaps of slain. I thought of the poem, and searching the pocket where 1 had seen him put it, drew it forth, and it was forwarded among other things to Ills friends." Colorado Bnnch Customs. Correspondence Rochester Herald. Every ranchman is armed with a repeating rifle, a shotgun and a revolver ulthough many do not carry their revolvers. I hardly ever carry mine. In the event of a quarrel an unarmed man stands more show for his life, forno mat' ter how great a desperado may be the man, he never shoots nn unarmed man. The question is asked ; "Are you heeled ?" meaning armed. Your answering to the contrary they will immediately put up their weapons. Stealing here is sure death to the one getting caught at it. Two weeks ago a party of us went up into the mountains prospecting for minerals in a new gulch, and on our own way found a man hanging to a tree who had been dead some days, with a paper pinned on hiB shirt simply stating "horse thief." These things strike terror to the thieves. Three nights ago three desperate looking men aroused me in the night, and said they were looking for a horse thief and were tired. I invited them to stay all night. They immediately made themselves- at home, cooking their own supper, I finally falling asleep, leaving them playing poker, $1 a corner. The departed early the next morning, and, I learned, came up with their man and shot him. It is remarkable to think that a man may shoot his neighbor and nothing be said, but let him steal anything and he must die. It is one of the peculiar ideas of the men on the borders that every man must protect his life, and not the law. But there is a good class of people now settl ing u p this country, slowly but sure, and their Eastern ideas will bring law and order.

Minister Foster on Prospective Trade with Mexico. Cabinet Session on General Routine Business. schuez on Sheridan's report, Washington. Nov. 19. The Sccrotarv 01 ar nas received and referred to lien- eral Sherman a letter from the Secretary 01 me interior, sharply replying to cer ium statements c-y uenerai Sheridan m tho latter's annual report. Secretary Schurz says : "These statements, as far as they reflect upon the conduct of the Indian service, are of a swceninir and somewhat vague nature; but it must be assumed that General Sheridan would not have made them, and permitted them to oecome public, had he not in his posscb- sion specific information concerning cer ium agencies anu certain brandies ol the Indian service to which these statements may be individua Iv applied. General Sherman, in his official document, giveBit as ins opinion that with wise management the amounts appropriated bv Con gress ought to be sufficient, if practically uppueu 10 me exact purposes specified but that reports of department command ers wouiu indicate a dittercnt result, except in the" cases of the Ked Cloud and Spotted Tail bands of Sioux. He would ccrtainlv not have expressed such an opinion without oeing acquainted in detail with the ap- uru iriuuoiM maue ov uongress. and tne specific purposes for which they were in- tcnaed. it is also to be supposed that be- '....TV. L p "g, cn"K? auore islv c-ogiuzuiiioi speciuc cases "ftmlied at all, or diverted from the iclntended by Congress. lou will feu'Uy oblige me by requesting General oneridan to communicate such tacts as m ay be in liia possession, giving the names of agents, dates and other circumstances which warrant the charge, which includes all the Indian agencies in the military division of Missouri, except those of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Sioux. "It has been iy constant and earnest endeavor, since 1 entered upon my present duties, to correct all uL-ubwj i.. i. ndian Bervice that come to my knowl-:de;e, and General Sheridan, by furnish ing audi snecibe- lnlormation, would .theTjtjji-, render greater service to this T)eiTui, Client, as well as. to the Indians. ePMliinci :hafriiy mere general statements. Ashe , . ..iiST.. f-..,!. - 1 .L. speciucaiions may ltistiy oe caned lor. I make this request with particular urgency, in view of the fact that certain military officers seem of late to have fallen into the habit of indultriner official ly, and probably in general reflection on tiie Indian service, without taking the trouble of substantiating with such state ments in detail as would tacilitatc discovery and correction of abuses. "I do not deprecate criticism at all. I rather invite it. But when it is officially put forth, there is, it seems to me, a certain fairness due from one branch of the public service to another. I should, for instance, not deem any officer of this Department justified in blaming, in general terms, the army for its failure to intercept runaway Cheyenncs on their march of several hundred miles through Kansas and Nebraska, and across the- Union Pacific railroad without being able to point to certain instances of mismanagement or neglect. If bucIi instances had come to the knowledge of this Depart ment, which limy nave not, i should have considered it due to the army that they be specifically ascertained and stated before indulging in general arraignment. I think it is not asking too much in the interest of the public service that such a rule be observed by the officers of the army likewise." General Sheridan's intimation that the Ked Cloud and Spotted Tail Sioux were allowed to select their present locations owing to a systematic working up of the case by traders and contractors, is also made the Bubject of emphatic comment by Secretary Schurz. He states that this policy was adopted by the Department on the earnest advice of the distinguished Indian fighter and manager, General Crook, who, as a result of his long experience with the Sioux, opposed any policy that would force the Sioux, against their unanimous and determined protest, to stay on the Missouri river, ob seriously endangering our peaceful relations with those powerful tribes; and the Secretary adds that so far, at least, their loyal conduct seems to have justified the course adopted. Secretary Schurz challenges General Sheridan to produce evidence in support of his imputations, and meanwhile remarks that it would not have been asking too muuhof him to inform himself a little better of circumstances before publishing his assertion in an official document.The Secretary also makes the following comment upon the remark of General Gibbon that "there is an entire absence of responsibility in the Indian Service:" "If General Gibbon, when writing his report, was cognizant of specific cases of wrong doing, lie would have obliged the Department by reporting them; and if, after such report, the charges thus made had not been inquired into and the guilty persons held to their proper responsibility, the sweeping statements contained in his report would be accepted as justified. If he will communicate such specific information now he will find that there is no such lack of responsibility as he alleges. Several employes in the Indian service, who arc now under criminal prosecution, have discovered this at their cost. TRADE WITH MEXICO. Hon. John G. Foster, United States Minister to Mexico, in response to a request from the Manufacturer's Association of the Northwest, has prepared and sent to the Stato Department an elaborate paper, to be transmitted to the above named Association, giving the results of careful study concerning the prospects and available mcanB for the extension of our commerce with Mexico. Mr. Foster states that the prohibitory tariff and the revolutionary condition of Mexico form great obstacles to any extended foreign trade, and until they are removed our merchants will, as general thing, continue to find more inviting markets elsewhere; but he asserts, nevertheless, that there is a limited field which maybe occupied bv Ameri cans, and regards it as entirely feasible and safe for American manufacturers to continue their efforts in kindred branches and establish in the City of Mexico warehouses for the exhibition and sale of the products of their factories. In this way local merchants and consumers will have a practical display of the superior merits ot American goods and wares, and their sale can be gradually increased and a permanent market created. BUDER PROBABLY AN IMPOSTER. Chief Clerk Hogg, of the Navy Depart ment, who has been making investigations, telegraphs that Buder, the seaman of the Huron, was undoubtedly lost in the wreck of that vessel, and the man personating mm is an imposter. me claimant, how ever, resembles a likeness of Buder. He is now missing, having left the Navy Yard clandestinely last night. CABINET IN ROUTINE BUSINESS. The session of the Cabinet to-day was of short duration, routine matters only being considered. "A Colcbrntcd Cose." Indianapolis, Nov. 19. The grand jury of the United States Court came into open Court this morning and by their toreman, Ueneral llascall, reported that tne uistnct Attorney had received in structions from the President of the United States against prosecuting a cer tain party for alleged embezzlement in the First National Bank of Indianapolis meaning Carey W. Miller and that they had been requested to investigate the matter, and desired to know from the Court whether it was their duty to proceed with the case, instructions of the President to the District Attorney to the contrary notwithstanding. Whereupon Judge Graham charged them in substance as follows: "When you were inipanneled at the beginning of the term, you swore that you would diligently inquire and true presentiment make of such matters as should bo given you in the charge, or might otherwise come to your knowledge, touching violations of the criminal statutes of the United States; that you would present no one through envy, hatred, or malice, and that you would leave no one unprescnted through tear, iavor, aflection, reward, or the hope thereof. You could not, if you would, escape the obligation of this oath by heeding the instruction of the Presi dent. In Hub particular ease the Presi dent may, if he feels so inclined, interfere even in advance of an indictment, bv exercising the pardoning power, but in no otuer way lias he the slightest authority to control your action. He has it in his power to pardon the alleged oilender, and unless he is willing to take this responsi bility, he has no more right to control your action than the Czar of Russia. If you believe the President's instructions to the District Attorney were intended to prevent you from making the fullest examination into the matter before you and from returning an indictment agaiust the accused, if the evidence should warrant it, you should feel inspired with additional determination to do your duty. The moment the Executive is allowed to control the action of llie oourls in the ftdmin- istratiuu ot criminal .Justice, ihe independence is gone. It is due the Presi dent to say that the Court does not believe he has any desire to encroach upon the judiciary, or that he contemplated any unwarranted interference by his instructions to the District Attorney. The District Attorney says, in open court, that he is ready and willing to aid you in any ex amination of this case which you may feel called upon to make. He and his assistant are faithful officers and will ren der you all necessary aid in this os in other cases. The Vnnderbilt Case. New York, Nov. 19. The case in re buttal for the propnent in the Vanderbilt will contest was opened in the Surrogate's Court this morning by calling to the witness stand Bishop McTyeire, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

Lord Beaconsfleld Won't. London, Nov. 19. The committee organized to urge an early meeting of Parliament, in view of the war with Afghanistan, having asked Lord Beaconsfleld to give them an interview, the Premier has written a letter to their chairman, Lord Lawrence. In reply, Lord Beaconsfleld says he is at a loss to perceive what useful purpose can be Berved by a more extended expression through a deputation from the committee of opinions which ijoru Lawrence ana others have so frequently and copiously explained. In re gard to the assembling of Parliament, the Government will, as a matter of course, be prepared, in the event of a commencement of hostilities in India, to .Jni IT Hf. .... , . ' auTiwiiLf majesty to niaicc BUcn communication to Parliament as the letter and spirit of the act regulating the relations of the Crown with India may seem to require. This would seem to be a not less satisfactory and scarcely less constitutional mode of meeting the occasion than a series of memorials and deputations. The papers relative to India will be published before the end of the month." Lord Lawrence's committee to-day passed a resolution regretting Lord Beaconsfield's refusal to see the deputation, and emphatically con demning his apparent determination in the event ot war being declared not to advise Her Majesty to consult Parliament until hostilities have commenced. The committee adjourned till Friday, and decided meanwhile to collect signatures to the protest. Tho Grain Trade. London, Nov. 19. The Mark Lane Express says: Very cold weather through out the Kingdom, with heavy snow, hail anu rain, seriously delayed agricultural operations, fortunately, field labor was tairly advanced betoru the weather broke, but dry weather is now desirable to enable Northern farmers to end the autumn sowing. Notwithstanding the cold weather, and the beginning of what promises to De a long ana severe winter, there has been a want of buoyancy in the wheat trade, which is very disappointing to sellers. Heavy rain having preveuted threshing, supplies of English wheat have been curtailed in the country markets and Mark Lane, while the condition of bulk offering has undergone further dc. terioration. Daily complaints are heard that millers are obliged to use a large proportion of dry foreign produce in their manufactures, hard Russian and Indian varieties having been most in request for this purpose. Imports of foreign wheat r London hnva non mn.ltirate. Tlin bulk of the supply was shlDoed at Cron- stad or St. Petersburg. Notwithstanding mo Biuau arrivals at ports, the call tor floating cargo trade has been for Ameri can wheat, at about a shilling per quar ter, wiiue luissiuii sons nave oeen steady. uariey urm and maize quiet.

Leo. Lord BcacoiiNlleld's Grounds. London, Nov. 19. The act cited by Lord Beaconsfleld in his letter to Lord Lawrence, prescribes that when Parliament is sitting, any order directing on actual commencement of hostilities by Her Majesty's forces in India must be communicated to it within three months, and if Parliament is not sitting, then in a month after it reassembles. Thus the Government are under lecal oblieatinn to call Parliament earlier than usual. King Humbert's I. Idle Wrestle. Naples. Nov. 19.

Samuel Myers, of Dallas, Texas, is now lying sick with a terrible and siugular malady. While asleep the other day a strange fly nliglircd near his nostrils and remained a few moments, when it was driven away. Upon awakening he felt a tickling sensation in his nose, but it was not until his eye and face had become fearfully swollen that the physician discovered that he was afflicted with the terrible screw-worm, which hatch out in half an hour from eggs laid by the peculiar fly above mentioned, but which usually attack only cattlo and sheep. Calomel and carbolic acid were injected into his nostrils and ono hundred and fifty-two of the worms dislodged, but at last accounts ho was in a critical condition, with small hopes of his recovery. A rascal in San Francisco recently met his deserts at the lmnds of two indignant women whom he had privately traduced to each other and who finally let out the matter through the constitutional inability of women keeping a secret. When they found out his rascality one of them invited him to visit her, and when ho was shown into the parlor he saw the twain, armed with stout rawhides and backeuTby two male relatives. He was beaten until the two women became exhausted, when he was ordered out of the back door, and in his exit received the contents of a pan of hot squash upon the top of his head. Halting in the back yard to dig the succulent vegetable out of his ears, the house dog was set upon him, and when he reached the street he was in a most dilapidated condition. A telegram from Washington in yester day's Commercial says it is a curious fact that the first decided steps toward a general exchange of greenbacks for gold have been taken at places where currency notes never circulated when gold was at a pre mium. Last week the Mint Bureau directed the Superintendent of the Assay umce at uenver, to purchase gold and silver bullion at certain rates taken from gold quotations, but to otier greenbacks in payment. To make these purchases he was given a credit a week ago of $20,000. Friday last he telegraphed that this was exnausted, ana another credit, same amount, waagiven. To-day he telegraphed that this was exhausted. While these amounts are not large in the aggregate, theycover transactions inwhich groenbacks ngure in gold value. In small transac tions at the Treasury Department here dis tinction between gold and silver is about wiped out. Treasury official smanifest con siderable gratification on account of the fall in the price of gold to one-eighth, and also because of the steady increase in the sale of four per cent, bonds, which during Saturday and to-day aggregated 3,UU0. 000.

The military balloon experiments at Woolwich have been so far successful, that last week an aeronaut was lilted some 700 feet, to a height, therefore, suf ficient torreconnoiteringpurposes. lliere is nothing of novelty in this, as a matter of aerial navigation, although it is the first instance, we believe, of any one in this country being raised from the earth by the agency of pure hydrogen, but it is, nevertheless, something to have achieved in the circumstances under which Captain Templar has been working. Everybody Knows uiai nyurugeu is giueu wua extraordinary lifting power, just as every chemist is aware that the gas may be ,i .1 :.. fy t i- pruuuueu 111 Uiu wur vyujjvuia ivuiiini produced it, namely, by passing a jet of steam over iron turnings. But the prob lem under solution was not to send up a hydrogen balloon so much as to discover whether the thing could ue done in a haphazard fashion and with such simple means as an army in the field would be provided with. It is one thing to make hydrogen in the laboratory, and anotlier to make a sufficient supply of it just when the commander of an army may order a balloon reconnoissance to be made. Captain Templar has practically proved that this can be done. He requires a nnlv of steam, an improved furnace of some sort, and a tube filled with iron turnings: given these, he can provide Hy drogen sufficient to lift a scout high into the air. The tube at present employed by Captain Templair is six or eight inches in diameter, and some half-dozen feet long; it is filled loosely with iron turnings and placed in a furnace where it becomes red hot. Steam is now passed through the tube and hydrogen isBtios forth, the oxygen from tho decomposed steam going to lorm terroua oxide. So completely do tho iron turnings do their work under these circumstances that not only is the surface of the metal acted upon, but in oxidyzed well nigh throughout. Naturally enough, the hydrogen comes away with a good deal of vanor. and. if ire gas is desired, some desBiccuting arrangement will have to be employed; out so far Captain Templar has used none. It is balloon, which is oi lawn, dressed with boiled oil and alue, will contain about 10,000 cubic feet, but last week not more than 9,000 leet ol Hydrogen was introduced. The gas was generated from the tube ot the rate of something like 1.000 cubic feet per hour, and there can be little doubt that, during the long period of filling, a large, quantity of the vapor that was mixed with the hydrogen condensed, and ran out of the balloon in tho form of water. Pure hydrogen should have a lifting power of 70 pounds per 1,000 feet, or perhaps a little more, but it is hardly likely that gas produced in a rough and ready fashion in the field will possess thia degree of buoyancy. Still, Captain Templar was successful, lifting balloon, aeronaut, ballast and 700 feet of rope for the ascent was a captive one by means of 0,000 cubic feet of hydrogen, prepared in the way we have mentioned. Anotlier point is worthy of note in connection with the experiment. The fabric of the balloon kept the hydrogen imprisoned for a much longer period than had been anticipated. A dozen hours scarcely impaired the buoyancy of the balloon, and by adding yet another waterproof coating it is anticipated that the balloon will remain inflated for four and twenty hours. The next step will bo to discover how far it is possible to compress hydrogen so manufactured into cylinders for conveyance in transport wagons, so that a supply of hydrogen IP T for the next MARRIED.

J One of the most singular proofs of Ihe foreign importation aud perhaps of the late arrival in Europe of the cat is to bo found in its various names. It is said that none of them came from the old Aryan source from which most of our language is derived. Most of thein, like the familiar cin,ore connected with the late Latin catm, which took the place of the earlier felia, when cats drove out the former foes of rats and mice. It seems to follow that cats came into the West with the Romans, but whence did the Romans get the name and the animal? M. Picket traces the name to the Syriac qato, and the Arabic qitt, out of which by an easy and natural process we make kitten. Qitt and qtUo, however, are not the primitive native forms of the cat's long-descended title, and we must go from Syria to Africa to find rfn, kadiska,. and kadditha. As for tho ancient Egyptian "man," that is merely tho "mew cat" and the "pussy mew" of English nurseries. Here, then, in Egypt is a native onomatopoeic name of the cat, such asany human being might give it when he first heard the peevish, prolonged note of its voice. The Indian names of the cat are not very old, and they are easily explained. The cat is " the horse-wolf," the "rat-eater" (though snakes are the .ratters of some districts), and the "foe of mice." The most endearing title of the cat comes from the land whence the most pleasing specimens of the race are also derived. Hie Persian cat, wild or tame, is "pus-chak," which the Afghans pronounce "pis-chek," and the Lithuanians, as old an Aryan-speaking race as any in Europe, "puije." The English "puss" in the long run is derived from a Sanscrit word for a "tail," there iB a curious coincidence be-twoen the word used by. Herodotus for the Egyptian cat, "the creature with waving tail," and the term found in Persian, Lithuanian, and English. Bees often make long journeys in search of food. A bec-owncr in the West, thinking that they perhaps visited the clover field of a friend forty miles away, sprinkled their backs with flour one morning as they left their hives, having previously requested the friend to watch for them. A telegram came from the friend during the day saying, "Plenty of your white-jacket bees here."

He spoke of the night before the battle at which Gen. W. S. Lvtle fell.

" 'Kealt, I sliall ueYja v. t' li poem.' - "'Nonsense,' said I, 'you wil write volumes of such stufi.' "'A feeling has suddenly come over me,' continued tho General Biiddenly, 'which is more startling than a prophecy, that I shall be killed in to-morrow's fight. As I spoke to you I saw the green hills of the Ohio as if I stood among them. They began to recede from me in a weird way, and as they disappeared, the conviction flashed upon me like the lightning's shock that I would never see them again.' "I rallied him from his superstition, but the belief had become strangely impressed upon his mind, and he succeeded in so far thrilling me with his own unnatural fear that I begged him to finish his poem before he slept, that sucli fine work might not be lost to the world. "In the small hourH the General awakened me from a flluruber into which I had fallen, to read me that beautiful poem, which must live as long as our literature survives, beginning: "I am dying, Egypt, dying; Ebbs tho crimson life blood fust.

Two weeks ago a party of us went up into the mountains prospecting for minerals in a new gulch, and on our own way found a man hanging to a tree who had been dead some days, with a paper pinned on hiB shirt simply stating "horse thief." These things strike terror to the thieves. Three nights ago three desperate looking men aroused me in the night, and said they were looking for a horse thief and were tired. I invited them to stay all night. They immediately made themselves- at home, cooking their own supper, I finally falling asleep, leaving them playing poker, $1 a corner.

The Sccrotarv 01 ar nas received and referred to lien- eral Sherman a letter from the Secretary 01 me interior, sharply replying to cer ium statements c-y uenerai Sheridan m tho latter's annual report. Secretary Schurz says : "These statements, as far as they reflect upon the conduct of the Indian service, are of a swceninir and somewhat vague nature; but it must be assumed that General Sheridan would not have made them, and permitted them to oecome public, had he not in his posscb- sion specific information concerning cer ium agencies anu certain brandies ol the Indian service to which these statements may be individua Iv applied. General Sherman, in his official document, giveBit as ins opinion that with wise management the amounts appropriated bv Con gress ought to be sufficient, if practically uppueu 10 me exact purposes specified but that reports of department command ers wouiu indicate a dittercnt result, except in the" cases of the Ked Cloud and Spotted Tail bands of Sioux.

Ashe , . ..iiST.. f-..,!. - 1 .L. speciucaiions may ltistiy oe caned lor. I make this request with particular urgency, in view of the fact that certain military officers seem of late to have fallen into the habit of indultriner official ly, and probably in general reflection on tiie Indian service, without taking the trouble of substantiating with such state ments in detail as would tacilitatc discovery and correction of abuses. "I do not deprecate criticism at all. I rather invite it. But when it is officially put forth, there is, it seems to me, a certain fairness due from one branch of the public service to another. I should, for instance, not deem any officer of this Department justified in blaming, in general terms, the army for its failure to intercept runaway Cheyenncs on their march of several hundred miles through Kansas and Nebraska, and across the- Union Pacific railroad without being able to point to certain instances of mismanagement or neglect. If bucIi instances had come to the knowledge of this Depart ment, which limy nave not, i should have considered it due to the army that they be specifically ascertained and stated before indulging in general arraignment. I think it is not asking too much in the interest of the public service that such a rule be observed by the officers of the army likewise." General Sheridan's intimation that the Ked Cloud and Spotted Tail Sioux were allowed to select their present locations owing to a systematic working up of the case by traders and contractors, is also made the Bubject of emphatic comment by Secretary Schurz. He states that this policy was adopted by the Department on the earnest advice of the distinguished Indian fighter and manager, General Crook, who, as a result of his long experience with the Sioux, opposed any policy that would force the Sioux, against their unanimous and determined protest, to stay on the Missouri river, ob seriously endangering our peaceful relations with those powerful tribes; and the Secretary adds that so far, at least, their loyal conduct seems to have justified the course adopted. Secretary Schurz challenges General Sheridan to produce evidence in support of his imputations, and meanwhile remarks that it would not have been asking too muuhof him to inform himself a little better of circumstances before publishing his assertion in an official document.The Secretary also makes the following comment upon the remark of General Gibbon that "there is an entire absence of responsibility in the Indian Service:" "If General Gibbon, when writing his report, was cognizant of specific cases of wrong doing, lie would have obliged the Department by reporting them; and if, after such report, the charges thus made had not been inquired into and the guilty persons held to their proper responsibility, the sweeping statements contained in his report would be accepted as justified. If he will communicate such specific information now he will find that there is no such lack of responsibility as he alleges. Several employes in the Indian service, who arc now under criminal prosecution, have discovered this at their cost. TRADE WITH MEXICO. Hon. John G. Foster, United States Minister to Mexico, in response to a request from the Manufacturer's Association of the Northwest, has prepared and sent to the Stato Department an elaborate paper, to be transmitted to the above named Association, giving the results of careful study concerning the prospects and available mcanB for the extension of our commerce with Mexico. Mr. Foster states that the prohibitory tariff and the revolutionary condition of Mexico form great obstacles to any extended foreign trade, and until they are removed our merchants will, as general thing, continue to find more inviting markets elsewhere; but he asserts, nevertheless, that there is a limited field which maybe occupied bv Ameri cans, and regards it as entirely feasible and safe for American manufacturers to continue their efforts in kindred branches and establish in the City of Mexico warehouses for the exhibition and sale of the products of their factories. In this way local merchants and consumers will have a practical display of the superior merits ot American goods and wares, and their sale can be gradually increased and a permanent market created.

He is now missing, having left the Navy Yard clandestinely last night. CABINET IN ROUTINE BUSINESS. The session of the Cabinet to-day was of short duration, routine matters only being considered. "A Colcbrntcd Cose." Indianapolis, Nov. 19. The grand jury of the United States Court came into open Court this morning and by their toreman, Ueneral llascall, reported that tne uistnct Attorney had received in structions from the President of the United States against prosecuting a cer tain party for alleged embezzlement in the First National Bank of Indianapolis meaning Carey W. Miller and that they had been requested to investigate the matter, and desired to know from the Court whether it was their duty to proceed with the case, instructions of the President to the District Attorney to the contrary notwithstanding. Whereupon Judge Graham charged them in substance as follows: "When you were inipanneled at the beginning of the term, you swore that you would diligently inquire and true presentiment make of such matters as should bo given you in the charge, or might otherwise come to your knowledge, touching violations of the criminal statutes of the United States; that you would present no one through envy, hatred, or malice, and that you would leave no one unprescnted through tear, iavor, aflection, reward, or the hope thereof. You could not, if you would, escape the obligation of this oath by heeding the instruction of the Presi dent. In Hub particular ease the Presi dent may, if he feels so inclined, interfere even in advance of an indictment, bv exercising the pardoning power, but in no otuer way lias he the slightest authority to control your action. He has it in his power to pardon the alleged oilender, and unless he is willing to take this responsi bility, he has no more right to control your action than the Czar of Russia. If you believe the President's instructions to the District Attorney were intended to prevent you from making the fullest examination into the matter before you and from returning an indictment agaiust the accused, if the evidence should warrant it, you should feel inspired with additional determination to do your duty. The moment the Executive is allowed to control the action of llie oourls in the ftdmin- istratiuu ot criminal .Justice, ihe independence is gone. It is due the Presi dent to say that the Court does not believe he has any desire to encroach upon the judiciary, or that he contemplated any unwarranted interference by his instructions to the District Attorney. The District Attorney says, in open court, that he is ready and willing to aid you in any ex amination of this case which you may feel called upon to make. He and his assistant are faithful officers and will ren der you all necessary aid in this os in other cases. The Vnnderbilt Case. New York, Nov. 19.

Lord Beaconsfleld Won't. London, Nov. 19. The committee organized to urge an early meeting of Parliament, in view of the war with Afghanistan, having asked Lord Beaconsfleld to give them an interview, the Premier has written a letter to their chairman, Lord Lawrence. In reply, Lord Beaconsfleld says he is at a loss to perceive what useful purpose can be Berved by a more extended expression through a deputation from the committee of opinions which ijoru Lawrence ana others have so frequently and copiously explained. In re gard to the assembling of Parliament, the Government will, as a matter of course, be prepared, in the event of a commencement of hostilities in India, to .Jni IT Hf. .... , .

This would seem to be a not less satisfactory and scarcely less constitutional mode of meeting the occasion than a series of memorials and deputations. The papers relative to India will be published before the end of the month." Lord Lawrence's committee to-day passed a resolution regretting Lord Beaconsfield's refusal to see the deputation, and emphatically con demning his apparent determination in the event ot war being declared not to advise Her Majesty to consult Parliament until hostilities have commenced. The committee adjourned till Friday, and decided meanwhile to collect signatures to the protest. Tho Grain Trade. London, Nov. 19. The Mark Lane Express says: Very cold weather through out the Kingdom, with heavy snow, hail anu rain, seriously delayed agricultural operations, fortunately, field labor was tairly advanced betoru the weather broke, but dry weather is now desirable to enable Northern farmers to end the autumn sowing. Notwithstanding the cold weather, and the beginning of what promises to De a long ana severe winter, there has been a want of buoyancy in the wheat trade, which is very disappointing to sellers. Heavy rain having preveuted threshing, supplies of English wheat have been curtailed in the country markets and Mark Lane, while the condition of bulk offering has undergone further dc. terioration. Daily complaints are heard that millers are obliged to use a large proportion of dry foreign produce in their manufactures, hard Russian and Indian varieties having been most in request for this purpose. Imports of foreign wheat r London hnva non mn.ltirate. Tlin bulk of the supply was shlDoed at Cron- stad or St. Petersburg.

Following is the Pope's congratulatory telegram: "Having heard of the deplorable attempt made against the life of your Majesty, and express to you my extreme concern, and at the same time my congratulations that you have escaped the grave danger, I pray God for the preservation of your Majesty's health."

Samuel Myers, of Dallas, Texas, is now lying sick with a terrible and siugular malady. While asleep the other day a strange fly nliglircd near his nostrils and remained a few moments, when it was driven away. Upon awakening he felt a tickling sensation in his nose, but it was not until his eye and face had become fearfully swollen that the physician discovered that he was afflicted with the terrible screw-worm, which hatch out in half an hour from eggs laid by the peculiar fly above mentioned, but which usually attack only cattlo and sheep. Calomel and carbolic acid were injected into his nostrils and ono hundred and fifty-two of the worms dislodged, but at last accounts ho was in a critical condition, with small hopes of his recovery. A rascal in San Francisco recently met his deserts at the lmnds of two indignant women whom he had privately traduced to each other and who finally let out the matter through the constitutional inability of women keeping a secret. When they found out his rascality one of them invited him to visit her, and when ho was shown into the parlor he saw the twain, armed with stout rawhides and backeuTby two male relatives. He was beaten until the two women became exhausted, when he was ordered out of the back door, and in his exit received the contents of a pan of hot squash upon the top of his head. Halting in the back yard to dig the succulent vegetable out of his ears, the house dog was set upon him, and when he reached the street he was in a most dilapidated condition. A telegram from Washington in yester day's Commercial says it is a curious fact that the first decided steps toward a general exchange of greenbacks for gold have been taken at places where currency notes never circulated when gold was at a pre mium. Last week the Mint Bureau directed the Superintendent of the Assay umce at uenver, to purchase gold and silver bullion at certain rates taken from gold quotations, but to otier greenbacks in payment. To make these purchases he was given a credit a week ago of $20,000. Friday last he telegraphed that this was exnausted, ana another credit, same amount, waagiven. To-day he telegraphed that this was exhausted. While these amounts are not large in the aggregate, theycover transactions inwhich groenbacks ngure in gold value. In small transac tions at the Treasury Department here dis tinction between gold and silver is about wiped out. Treasury official smanifest con siderable gratification on account of the fall in the price of gold to one-eighth, and also because of the steady increase in the sale of four per cent, bonds, which during Saturday and to-day aggregated 3,UU0. 000.

The military balloon experiments at Woolwich have been so far successful, that last week an aeronaut was lilted some 700 feet, to a height, therefore, suf ficient torreconnoiteringpurposes. lliere is nothing of novelty in this, as a matter of aerial navigation, although it is the first instance, we believe, of any one in this country being raised from the earth by the agency of pure hydrogen, but it is, nevertheless, something to have achieved in the circumstances under which Captain Templar has been working. Everybody Knows uiai nyurugeu is giueu wua extraordinary lifting power, just as every chemist is aware that the gas may be ,i .1 :.. fy t i- pruuuueu 111 Uiu wur vyujjvuia ivuiiini produced it, namely, by passing a jet of steam over iron turnings. But the prob lem under solution was not to send up a hydrogen balloon so much as to discover whether the thing could ue done in a haphazard fashion and with such simple means as an army in the field would be provided with. It is one thing to make hydrogen in the laboratory, and anotlier to make a sufficient supply of it just when the commander of an army may order a balloon reconnoissance to be made. Captain Templar has practically proved that this can be done. He requires a nnlv of steam, an improved furnace of some sort, and a tube filled with iron turnings: given these, he can provide Hy drogen sufficient to lift a scout high into the air. The tube at present employed by Captain Templair is six or eight inches in diameter, and some half-dozen feet long; it is filled loosely with iron turnings and placed in a furnace where it becomes red hot. Steam is now passed through the tube and hydrogen isBtios forth, the oxygen from tho decomposed steam going to lorm terroua oxide. So completely do tho iron turnings do their work under these circumstances that not only is the surface of the metal acted upon, but in oxidyzed well nigh throughout. Naturally enough, the hydrogen comes away with a good deal of vanor. and. if ire gas is desired, some desBiccuting arrangement will have to be employed; out so far Captain Templar has used none. It is balloon, which is oi lawn, dressed with boiled oil and alue, will contain about 10,000 cubic feet, but last week not more than 9,000 leet ol Hydrogen was introduced. The gas was generated from the tube ot the rate of something like 1.000 cubic feet per hour, and there can be little doubt that, during the long period of filling, a large, quantity of the vapor that was mixed with the hydrogen condensed, and ran out of the balloon in tho form of water. Pure hydrogen should have a lifting power of 70 pounds per 1,000 feet, or perhaps a little more, but it is hardly likely that gas produced in a rough and ready fashion in the field will possess thia degree of buoyancy. Still, Captain Templar was successful, lifting balloon, aeronaut, ballast and 700 feet of rope for the ascent was a captive one by means of 0,000 cubic feet of hydrogen, prepared in the way we have mentioned. Anotlier point is worthy of note in connection with the experiment. The fabric of the balloon kept the hydrogen imprisoned for a much longer period than had been anticipated. A dozen hours scarcely impaired the buoyancy of the balloon, and by adding yet another waterproof coating it is anticipated that the balloon will remain inflated for four and twenty hours. The next step will bo to discover how far it is possible to compress hydrogen so manufactured into cylinders for conveyance in transport wagons, so that a supply of hydrogen IP T for the next MARRIED.

J One of the most singular proofs of Ihe foreign importation aud perhaps of the late arrival in Europe of the cat is to bo found in its various names. It is said that none of them came from the old Aryan source from which most of our language is derived. Most of thein, like the familiar cin,ore connected with the late Latin catm, which took the place of the earlier felia, when cats drove out the former foes of rats and mice. It seems to follow that cats came into the West with the Romans, but whence did the Romans get the name and the animal? M. Picket traces the name to the Syriac qato, and the Arabic qitt, out of which by an easy and natural process we make kitten. Qitt and qtUo, however, are not the primitive native forms of the cat's long-descended title, and we must go from Syria to Africa to find rfn, kadiska,. and kadditha. As for tho ancient Egyptian "man," that is merely tho "mew cat" and the "pussy mew" of English nurseries. Here, then, in Egypt is a native onomatopoeic name of the cat, such asany human being might give it when he first heard the peevish, prolonged note of its voice. The Indian names of the cat are not very old, and they are easily explained. The cat is " the horse-wolf," the "rat-eater" (though snakes are the .ratters of some districts), and the "foe of mice." The most endearing title of the cat comes from the land whence the most pleasing specimens of the race are also derived. Hie Persian cat, wild or tame, is "pus-chak," which the Afghans pronounce "pis-chek," and the Lithuanians, as old an Aryan-speaking race as any in Europe, "puije." The English "puss" in the long run is derived from a Sanscrit word for a "tail," there iB a curious coincidence be-twoen the word used by. Herodotus for the Egyptian cat, "the creature with waving tail," and the term found in Persian, Lithuanian, and English. Bees often make long journeys in search of food. A bec-owncr in the West, thinking that they perhaps visited the clover field of a friend forty miles away, sprinkled their backs with flour one morning as they left their hives, having previously requested the friend to watch for them. A telegram came from the friend during the day saying, "Plenty of your white-jacket bees here."
